1. Has anyone used UWorld to study for NCLEX?

   NorthwestCT replied to Lupe Sanchez's topic in NCLEX

   The questions on the NCLEX were almost identical in their look/feel/wording to uWorld. I finished uWorld with a 61% average which puts you somewhere in the the 80th percentile. Some systems I was in the high 40% range and some I was in the high 70%...

2. Hurst, Uworld, Lacharity

   NorthwestCT replied to young23's topic in NCLEX

   I can't say enough about uWorld. Same exact look and format as the NCLEX. Got in, sat down, and it was just like I was back in my room studying. If I didn't know a question, no sweat, I was used to scoring in the 55-60% range with uWorld. Finishe...

3. UCONN CEIN 2016

   NorthwestCT replied to RN2BCamm's topic in Connecticut

   We have a midterm tomorrow in med surge and it is currently very intense! The first 2 months were also pretty crazy. Other than that it has not been too bad. If you really want to prepare and get ahead of the game, I would spend as much time goin...

4. UCONN CEIN 2016

   NorthwestCT replied to RN2BCamm's topic in Connecticut

   I submitted my application in early January and was accepted into the 2015 class late January/early February. For those with low undergraduate GPAs, mine was below a 2.5 with lots of Fs and Ds. However, I got a great job after graduation and took t...

   NorthwestCT replied to waterpeace13's topic in Connecticut

   I am going to be in the Waterbury program and was wondering if anyone had any idea about the length/dates of our vacations? I am currently trying to plan for next summer, and was hoping to get an idea of when we will have time off.

6. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

   NorthwestCT replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut

   Got in to NWCC, but I'm doing the UConn CEIN program, so hopefully that opens up a spot for someone here who didn't get in.

7. Nvcc pre-reqs

   NorthwestCT replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Connecticut

   Are you sure this is accurate? I never had to meet with an advisor to take classes at NVCC. Also, last semester I was worried about getting in to a particular Nutrition class, so I registered at 3-4 other Connecticut Community Colleges. I was able...

8. Prospective Cein applicant

   NorthwestCT replied to uconnhuskies25's topic in Connecticut

   With the exception of Bio, Stats, and Research Methods (at Sacred Heart and U Phoenix) I got in to the CEIN program having taken all my prerequisites at Connecticut community colleges. I took these classes long after getting my B.A., so I think they...

9. SUNY Downstate Accelerated BSN Program 2014-2015

   NorthwestCT replied to Lauren Bear's topic in New York

   I didn't hear anything either. Thank god I got into the UCONN accelerated program, which was my (soft) first choice However, had I been accepted to Downstate, I would have had a difficult time making a final choice between the two, as I have heard ...

10. FAQ about UCONN's MEIN program 2011 2012

    NorthwestCT replied to CT_student's topic in Connecticut

    Thanks Turtle. I just got accepted into the CEIN program and was wondering if you would be willing to speak a bit more about the program. Do you feel like you are being adequately prepared? Have you enjoyed the faculty?

11. Feeling Discouraged

    NorthwestCT replied to RN_Loading1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Just one quick thing about feeling like you are the only person in the class who does not understand what is going on. If I didn't have the highest grades in my chemistry, microbio, and A&P classes, I was at least top 2 or 3. However, I left ev...

    NorthwestCT replied to waterpeace13's topic in Connecticut

    My undergraduate GPA was closer to a 2.0 than a 3.0 (!!!), however, I had a 4.0 for my prerequisites (around 45-50 credits). I think I made a good case in terms of demonstrating how I had figured out what I wanted to do with my life and then worked ...

    NorthwestCT replied to Future Nurse's Wife's topic in TEAS

    Took the TEAS in December for the CT community college programs. I realized after signing up for the December date that my class schedule and work load made studying impossible, so I decided to book a second date in January that I would be able to s...
